This stance is for Defence, offence you keep the weight closer to you and your feet parallel.

@HanstheDestroyer215 You're welcome bro and good luck!

@MarkA15 thanks for the info!

@HanstheDestroyer215 And when I say that the offensive lineman stance might change slightly when blocking for the run is because there are some coaching styles that would rather not let the defense know what play is being called by looking at how the offensive line is positioned. For example, if the offensive line is position more upwards, there's a good chance of it being a pass, if they are lined up more forward, there's a good chance of it being a run. If they can't tell which, it's better.

@HanstheDestroyer215 If the offensive line is going to block for a run, their stance might change slightly to better position themselves for a run block. The reason why I say that this video is "most likely" for defensive linemen is because in some middle/high schools they use the defensive lineman stance for their offensive line.

But I think it's always better to learn how the pros do it, in this case would be that the "Two Steps" stance is for OL only and this "Stance" stance is for DL.

@HanstheDestroyer215 You're correct in that these are two different stances. The lineman in the Two Steps video is an offensive lineman and this video is most cases a defensive lineman. Most defensive linemen will use this stance because the only direction they are going is forward, thus you want a lot of your weight going forward.

For offensive lineman they can drop back which usually would have their weight on the ball of their feet.

@MarkA15 im just asking because on the two steps video it looks like the lineman had more weight back than forward, cuz i play both offense and defense and im just tryin to get my stances right

[MarkA15]

@HanstheDestroyer215 In most cases yes this is.

[HanstheDestroyer215]

this is for d-line right?

Yea I do, you do it so you can push more power onto the line, and the line is basically staying still to stop them, if they both moved like that there would be some injures.
